Im really at a place in life where im not doing the back and forth. Not letting no one treat me trifling and matching energy. I will leave about my respect, expectations.. whatever. Everytime.
I’m not sorry that I just ordered a harness for Sailor to wear in the airport this week. Ain’t nobody playing w an excited toddler in a crowded busy place. And it’s just us traveling.
There’s so much trust with this parenting thing. Your child is born already having this faith that you will lead them with love and accountability. They inherently believe that they are safe with you without having any reason to at all. It’s too pure a thing to see some squander.
Them running to you when they are afraid or checking to see how your are reacting to something before they decide. No other type of relationship could ever give that. That dumb trust. It’s the one thing I think I may not have ever experienced in life, had I never became a mom.
It’s so validating when people I’ve removed from my life show me reminders of why exactly I had to remove them in the first place. It’s like God’s little reminder that I’m going the right way.
